Poem Commentary

People are saying that the end is near but there's another thousand years to be had for everyone. This is a poem for the coming holiday season, and I wish to you and yours happy holidays.

Holydays

- Halloween of the fall
     Fall of leaves, fall of man 
       Presaging the death and dormancy of winter's
       coming of our golden years in silver hair.

- Thanksgiving in the fall
     Giving thanks to God our Father always for all things
        throughout our lives and especially at this time
        our advanced age or health are harbingers of our life's end times.

- Christmas of the winter
     We have died now in Jesus and are born again
       in winter's sleeping we are now awake in Him
       giving us His Spirit of giving presents to us.

- Saint Valentine's Day in the winter
     We have fallen in love and ask Him
       will "You Be Mine," "I Love You," and "Sweetheart"
       knowing that His answer will be and is always "Yes."

- Easter of the spring
     Jesus rose from the dead and now resurrects His
       awake and sleeping to their glorified bodies
       to reign with Him through years of holidays and

- Holy Days of summer's
     Millennium

This is very nice. I like the transitions between seasons as well as the spiritual metaphors. Enjoyed reading this!

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
